Learning, Keeping, and Using Language
This volume contains selected papers from the Eight World Congress of Applied Linguistics held in Sydney in 1987. Whereas the focus of Volume I is on learning language and the standpoint of the individual learner, the contributions to Volume II are concerned not so much with individuals as with communities, and the reasons for and the nature of language maintenance and shift.

The Media Snatcher
An in-depth exploration of a neglected video game platform of the 1990s and a reflection on the way we construct the cultural history of video games. In The Media Snatcher, Carl Therrien offers an in-depth exploration of NEC's PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a little-studied video game platform released in the late 1980s. The PC Engine was designed to bring technological expandability to the world of game consoles; The Media Snatcher's subtitle evokes some of the expansions and the numerous rebranded versions of the system released by NEC, including the first CD-ROM add-on in video game history. The platform makers hoped that expandability would allow its console to remain at the cutting edge and e...
Derrière le coach
Préface de Danièle Sauvageau Depuis sa fondation en 1909, le Canadien de Montréal a vu passer 32 entraîneurs-chefs, la grande majorité à titre permanent et quelques rares de façon temporaire. Leur séjour derrière le banc a oscillé entre quelques semaines et quinze saisons complètes. Tous n’ont pas mené l’équipe à la conquête de la Coupe Stanley comme l’ont fait Toe Blake, Scotty Bowman ou Jacques Demers. En revanche, tous ces entraîneurs, sans exception, ont vécu d’incroyables histoires liées au hockey, que ce soit avec le Canadien ou avec d’autres équipes, juniors comme professionnelles ou seniors. Et tous ces hommes ont aussi eu des vies à...

The bestselling bio of Hall-of-Famer Patrick Roy-now in a highly anticipated English-language edition Since it published in Canada in November 2007, Le Guerrier became an instant hit, quickly selling out its first print run.

Practically Perfect
Twisted tales of killers who almost got away with perfect murders. A man murders the first four infants he fathers with his lover, then tries again with a fifth. Two men have three things in common: each commits what seems like a perfect murder, each marries his victim’s wife far too soon, each has an overdue appointment with the gallows. A man cuts up the body of his victim into little pieces and gets away with the crime until he slaughters another neighbour six years later. Practically Perfect details the crimes of killers who very nearly got away with perfect murders, including the tale of Marie Beaulne, who laced her husband’s food with poison, only to be found out when a priest recalled someone else dying that way in his village. Each tale provides specific details on the planning of each murder, the events leading up to the discovery of the criminal, and the results of the trial, usually resulting in an execution.
